The rapid extension of railway works in the metropolis has had one important effect which must not be overlooked in the annoyance consequent upon the deterioration of property or the gratification attending improved facilities for traffic. It has prc duced other results less apparent, perhaps, to the Upper classes of society, but no less deserving of at tention. The demolition of houses consequent upon the passite of the lines through the densely packed streets of London has sensibly diminished the amount of house accommodation available for the poor, and of that necessary of decent life there was dcficient already a supply. Our philanthropists and social reformers are begi nn i ng to turn their thoughts seriously in this direction, being fully aware that preaching and good advice are alike and moral n education thrown away—that the inflaence e • moral training is lamentably Counteracted by the squalid rooms into which two or three families are often huddled together. The Earl of DEni has busied himself in securing to the labouring classe s the right of railway travelling at the lowest pos sible rate, bat much remains to be done in providing decent houses for those whcse occupation or neces sities keep them within the bounds of the metropolis and its immediate suburbs. The scandalous condi tion of the dwellings of some portions of our agri cultural population has 'lately been much discussed, and some severe strictures were deservedly passed on the neglect or indifference of landlords, but Lendoners must not exempt themselves from blame if they fail to encourage and assist the work of pro viding homes for the metropolitan artisans and their families. There is much being done in this way by various estociations and by private benevolence. One of these societies held its general meeting the other day, when the report of financial returns, the statistics of the number of houses, &c., was read. It is satisfactory to find thet this benevolent asso ciation was able to pay a dividend of 3 per cent. to the shareholders, besides carrying a balanca of £2OO to the guarantee fund. This is doubly because it nut only preserves those g ratifying, charitable persons who invested their money in such an undertaking from Pecuniary loss, but it tends to substantiate the assertion that improved dwellings for the poor can be made to reimburse their owners and become self•supporting. There will always bo found benevolent and liberal persons to come forward and build model dwellings a n d lodgiug:houses, but if the whole system of house accommodation for the poor is to undergo that reform which it imperatively demands, it must be a matter of business, and not of charity. Philanthro pists will always be the exception, and we cannot suppose that even. a considerable fraction of the metropolitan householders will make their own interest subordinate to the good of their fellows. W e usenet reasonably anticipate that men will lay out money in repairs and alterations, and enter upon a losing speculation in the ordinary way of busine ss , and, therefore, it is of the highest im portance to make our plans practical as well as philanthropical, with a due regard to the rocket of the landlord, as well as to the moral and physical wellbeing of the tenant. There will atways be much that benevolence alone cen do, and surely the riches of a charitable man can find few more praise worthy outlets than - the improvement and embel lishment of the homes of the poor. It is one of the Happy privileges of wealth that it can afford to dis regard the monetary returns which are so valuable to ether men, and thus some of the model dwellings can lay claim to attractions which many houses of a far higher standing have no poetentions to. In a very interesting pamphlet, recently published by the Society of Arts,* we find an account of various experiments made throughout the metropolis with regard to improved dwelling=, model lodging houses, &c. Mr. TWINING, a member of the Coun cil, has, at his own expense, collected all available information as to the results obtained in a financial as well as a sanitary point of view, by the societies and individuals who have occupied themselves in this matter. It was thought, with justice, that such information would supply most valuable aid in further proceedings of the kind, by showing what contrivances had proved most effectual in " render ing sanitary and other improvements acceptable to the poor and remunerative to builders and capi taliets." This combined result is the great object to aim at, since it is useless to construct model dwellings cn such a plan as to disgust those who are intended to occupy them, while, on the other hand, it is, as we have said, imperatively necessary to make them rernanerative investments if we hope to see them supply in any degree the wants of our labouring classes. It is by no means impossible to unite these two objects, and in many parts of Lon don model dwellings have succeeded in every point of view. 'What are called the renovated dwellings are naturally more profitable than new bouses,ss so much preliminary expense is avoided, and, in one instance, that of the Charles-street renovated lodging-house, belonging to the Lsbourers' Friend Society. returns or from 12 to 15 per cent. have actually been ob tained. This is the more gratifying, as the locality is one of the worst in London ; and it is, therefore, somewhat surprising to find that a lodging-house conducted under strict regulations should prove a profitable speculation. This is not, however, always the case, since the Peter-street Lodging-house, in Westminster, has during the last few years been a decided lose, co that it will not do to base too favourable awicipations on the returns of the Charles-street experiment. Lodgingehouses natu rally present a great difficulty in the necessity of enforcing some rule as to hours, Bes., which the migratory and vagrant class who patronise them may be unwilling to submit to; besides, in less select houses, liberty is allowed as to card-playing, gambling, &c., that is inadmissible in the model dwellings. Still the fact that such satisfactory results can be attained in a neighbourhocd like that of Drury-lane is very important, and at Vic toria-chambers, belonging to Mr. BARRY, of Ebury street, the manager is frequently unable during the winter months to receive all applications. The model dwellings for families are, perhaps, of more importance, and of these we find several interesting particulars in the Report a we have alluded to. They are subdivided in the list into three departments— urban dwellings, with external galleries ; urban dwellings, without galleries ; and suburban dwell ings. The plan of galleries is one much esteemed by some persons, on account of various advantages in populous districts; besides relieving the building from the charge of house duty, as each tenement in houses of this kind has been decided by judicial authority to be a separate house with regard to taxation. It is, certainly, a matter of common prudence to adopt any plan, consistent with health and propriety, by which the inevitable expenses can be reduced, and it is the lack of this kind of, prudence which often makes bene volent undertakings so oppressively expensive. The gallery system has great advantages in case of fire, when accidents are too probable in houses let out in floors. Another very excellent and practical plan for lessening the expense of such establish ments is the letting of the ground floor out in shops. Thus in the Lisaon Grove Buildings, belong ing to the Mary lebone Association, shops are let out at £35 per annum, thus mAking a material diffe rence in the balance sheet. The various !schemes r"or increasing the comfort and convenience of the tenants are weighed in this report, and form an important part of the affair, since it is absolutely necessary that the poor should be attached to the dwellings if they are to bo of any real service. It is only philanthropists like Miss BURDETT COUTTS who can afford to sacrifice a whole floor of a block of buildings to club-rooms and wash-houses, but there are many less easily ways in which the wishes of the tenants can ba consulted. 'What is most urgently needed is a reform in the dwellings of the classes who can only afford to pay ls. 61 or 2s. 6d. weekly, and this is most difficult to bring about It is much easier to provide for the necessities of the class above them, who can pay from 53. to is. 6i., bat they are more able to get respectable places to begin with and more likely to keep them in order. It is the lower class that must be reached before we can make any impression on the overcrowding and other evils at present existing. We are, therefore, very glad to find that the trustees of the Peabody Fund are directing their efforts towards the eleva tion of this class, and their model dwellings near the Great Eastern Iteilway Terminus are designed for the lower paid rank of workmen and their families. One great obj, , ct to attain is the avoid • ance of that overcrowding which has been styled by a competent authority the wor s t o f a ll unwhole some influences, and which is so frightfully common where room are let out singly to families. Such laws bring a terribl e punish outrages of sanitary mutt in the shape of epidemic disease, which finds its nursery in these abodes, and t h us t h e neglect of the wealther portion of the Population re c oil s u p on themselves. There is every re ason for a thorough reform in the matter of dwellings for our labo ur i ng classes, and the first step towards lastin g and effec tual improvement is to consider carefully th e exile . rience of the past in order to prcfi: by its successes, and to take warning from its failures. * Report addressed to the Council by the Special Co_m mittee, on the Statistics of Dwellings Improvement in the Metropolis. Simpkins, 701, Strand. The inquest held at Egnam regarding the cause of the deaths of the five unfortunate persons who perished at the recent accident on the South Western Railway was brought to a conclusion last Friday, and resulted in a verdict of manslaughter being found against THOMAS LEE, the engine driver, end 3011 N TRAINER, the fireman of the second train. We have hitherto refrained from commenting on the probable causes of the acci dent, deeming it right to await the result of the coroner's inquest; but now that the verdict of the jury is pronounced, we shall proceed to make a few remarks upon the evidence before the jury, and which induced them to return - their verdict. We do not quarrel with their finding, for, practically, it was the only one which they could legitimately come to, unless they found that the collision was accidental, and this they could hardly do. It no more conclusive evidence of negligence is brought far rd at their trial, we do not believe that the meta cou i raitted hAro much to apps heed from i 6 i As regards the company, the verdict of the jury is, however, both just and severe, and will be received with satisfaction by the public. After dec_e.ring the engine-driver and fireman guilty of man slaughter, they, as it were, recommend them to mercy by adding that they considered they were labouring under great disadvantages owing to the general mismanagement of the company, and then proceed to particularise the more especial in stances in which this mismanagement was conspi cuous—namely, the want of a turn table at Ascot; the absence of a means of communication between the guard and driver; and the reckless manner in which the trains were started. In most railway accidents where the company's servants are to blame, it is generally among the subordinates that the fault rests; but in the pros , nt instance, by the evidence of Mr. ARCHIBALD SCOTT, the traffic manager of the line, the accident is mainly attri butable to the too faithful fulfilment of his master's orders. Although five minutes is but a short time to elapse between the starting of trains, yet provided that proper precautions were taken there is no reason why an accident should occur. Care seems to have been taken to provide extra signals for the occasion, and the men employed upon this duty seem to have performed it correctly; but it was a great mistake, on the part of Mr. SCOTT, to give written orders to the driver of the first train to stop at Egham, and to the driver of the train which followed, only five minutes later, orders to pass through Egham and not to stop until he reached Staines, and yet not informing him that the preceding train was to stop at Egham. Tne driver may not have observed the danger-signal at the auxiliary station ; but up to the moment of reach. ing that point, all the signals had shown him that fire minutes had elapsed since the passing of the preceding train, and here then, although the driver may have been guilty of neglect, surely the conduct of his superior is far more reprehensible. Again, why was there no turntable at Ascot ? Mr. SCOTT, in his examination, gave a most extraordinary reason. "He did not think a turntable was neces• eery at Ascot, as the only time at which it would be used would be during the race week, when the arrivals of the trains would be so frequent as to prevent the possibility of reversing the engine. He thought such an arrangement would be productive of great danger. Although the proper way of running an engine was tender behind, he did not think that any danger would result from reversing it." Why, that is the only time when it would be required. In fact, it was the profit expected to be derived during the Ascot Races that induced the company to construct the line, and its extension to Reading was an after-thought. In reply to Mr. SCOTT'S statement, however, Colonel YOLLAND rem . arked in his observations at the conclusion o: the inquiry, that running an engine backwards, or having the " tender in front, did not give the driver the same power over his engine. He was sure there could be no difficulty in turning the engines that ar rived at Ascot at two, and did not leave till five, pro vided there was a turntable erected. He dissented entirely from the statement made on behalf of the company that, even if there had been a turntable at Ascot, the engines would not have been turned on the day in question. With a proper turntable,. he repeated, he was perfectly satisfied that every engine would be turned. He considered it most dangerous to conduct any kind of traffic, more par ticularly in the case of special traffic, without using a turntable, no matter how long the interval be• tween the trains." This view of the case is talon by the engine -driver, who stated that it took about fear minutes to turn an engine at the 'Waterloo sta tion, and yet Mr. SCOTT does not think it possible to turn an engine at Ascot, although the engines on an average remained at that station upwards of two houro. Mr. SCOTT'S reascn3, or rather excuses, concerning the communications between the guard and driver, are quite as unsatisfactory. He admitted that the means of communication was broken, but that the object of the communication was to enable the guard to call attention to any accident, such as a wheel breaking, and not for signalling danger. He, however, afterwards admitted that in a case off danger it might be made use of. Such an excuse needs no comment, It is tolerably evident that the want of this communication was the ultimate cause of the accident ; for the guard, in his evidence, stated that when he first saw the danger signal it was some quarter of a mile distant, and on at dan ger. The speed was not slackened at the time, and he immediately applied the break. Now, as the speed was not slackened, it is obvious the driver did not see the danger signal so soon as the guard did, and this probably arose from the fact that, as the engine was running backwards, his face would possibly be towards the engine rather than in the direction in which the train was moving ; but in any case, had the communication been intact, the guard could at once have signalled him to shut off his seam. Half a minute's earlier intimation of the danger, a few hundred yards more gained, and the catastrophe would have been averted. Lastly, let us ask why telegraphic communications were not kept up along the line. Colonel YOLLAND in- formed the jury that, in conscquence of an acciden which occurred in two following trains at Virginia Water, the Government inspector who attended the inquiry recommended the adoption of the electric telagraph for signal purposes, and the company had promised that such a system should bo established for working at any rate Ascot races traffic. The danger of running special trains at short intervals could only be obviated by using the ordinary electric telegraphs or block system. The Board of Trade had no power to enforce the use of either of these systems. How well the company kept their promise, the late lamentable loss of life can show. With regard to the absence of a turn table at Ascot, we think that the Board of Trade are to blame i❑ sanctioning the opening of the line in its absence. Here Colonel YOLLAND observed that " tho requirements of the inspecting officers o railways varied according to necessity, and if Banc• tion were sought at the present time to open the Ascot lines, no inspector would pass it without a turntable being provided. lie could not imagine any case where a train ran more than four or five miles in which it would be proper to place the engine tender foremost." If it is considered unsafe to permit a new line to b© opened without the re- Waite turntables, surely it is unwise to permit the traffi c to be continued cn an oil line in an equally unProvided state. No doubt this melancholy encl. dent may have the effect of making the managers and officials of railway companies more careful generally ; but it is not creditable to the existing state of things that human lives must be sacrificed p-riodically for the better security and safety of the public. --____ • THE SURREY CooxiNG DEPOT,--On J.ttirday a meeting of noblemen and gentlemen, presided over by the Earl of Shrewsbury, and which was attended by Lord Brougham and other philanthropist s , was held at this institution, established in the Ne - .v-cnt, Lambeth, for th e purpose of supplying the poore r c l asses with good and substantial food at the lowest possible price. It was evi denced to their satisfaction that a substantial dinner can be suppiied at a maximum sum of fourpenee with a profit ; and a resolution was adopted to the effect that, in consequence of the great sum= which had attended the Surrey Cooking Depot, it is desirable that such depots should be established in all quariers is London where the working and poorer classes are congregated. Further, it was resolved to raise a capital of £50,000 in klaaree, to effect the oLject, TIM SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 27, 1864. LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

COPENHAGEN, JUNE 25, 10.58, p.m. In to-day's sitting of the Folketlaing (Lower House of the Rigsnad) the President of the Coun cil, in reply to a question upon the Conference, said : "The Danish PL nipotentiaries were instructed to accept the line of demarca tion of the Schlei, and to agree to a fortnight's prolongation of the armistice, should England firmly adhere to that line. Earl Russell premised that neither would he propose himself nor support the proposal of any other plenipotentiary which would be less favourable for Denmark unless Den mark herself should consent to such new proposals. Earl Russell, nevertheless, proposed in the sitting of the Conference of the 18th inst. that the question should be submitted to arbitration, although Denmark did not consent to this proposal." Bishop Monrad said, in conclusion, "I cannot explain how this proposal was °insistent with Earl Russell's promise." OPENING OF THE DANISEE ItIGSRAAD. SPEECH OF THE KING.

We have recently learned for how little the clearest right reckons in Europe and how isolated we Are. We therefore acceded to the painful sacrifice of the country south of the Schiei. The enemy demands more, bat we reply negatively, being convinced that the people agree with us. " May God grant that, at least in a certain place, the sympathy for us may grow into active support." WEST INDIA MAIL, SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 27. The royal mail steamship Shannon, from St. Thomas, with the West India, Mexican, and Pacific mails, passed the Needles at 11.15 a.m. to-day. FRANCE.

A friend of M. de Ville messant bethought himself of presenting to the noble animal a small board covered with clay, which enabled the coequeror of the English to stretch forth its fa)t and so to impress on it its signature, which the Autographe now reproduces, having previously declared that Vermouth is not a thing, but a glory THE GREENBACKS OF ALEXANDItE DUMAS,-- In order to complete the 2,0e0 fr.sucs which he re quires to purchase Mane's life-boat, Atexandre llamas has hit upon the tollovving process !—He has cut out several sheets of paper in a great number 01 k pares, mad upon eActi of them with that same hand from which Ctinae OtIL so many attractive and amusing works, he traced those simple words— " In the name of None and of mysef, thanks—A Dumas." M. C. Prather distributes those au:o. graphs, which can be procured for 10 centimes (Id). This, as every body can see, is equally simple but ingenious. But there are very few men who could raise the wind by such means. In the midst of the negotiations engoged in at Kissi:igen and Carlsbad hz:tween the Northern Powers, says the Union, the =nor Slates of Ger- many have expressed their wish to stand aloof. The sovereigns and princes who have repaired to Kissing,en have done an act of courtesy, but did not take any part in the deliberations held by the Em perors of Russia and Austria, the King of Prussia, and their Ministers. This reserved attitude of Ger many is considered a result of the interview of M. de Beust at the Tuileries. Everybody knows that the Saxon Minister is, at the present moment, the representative of the German Diet at the London Conference. The minor Slates of Germany have, it is said, manifested their intention of departing from that reserved attitude solely in the case When the French Government itself should interfere in the complication, which threaten to happen be. tween the Great German Powers and England. Moreover, the Cabinet of the Tuileries has not ceased to declare at London, as well as at Berlin, at Vienna, and at CJpenhegen, that if war should burst between England and th e G erman P owers on the Danish question, Fran ce wou ld p res erve a strict neutralay, and watch the march of events. A certain number of French diplomatists, with out any cfficial title, have been sent to Carlsbad, where is alto our ambassador at Carlsbad, the Duke de Gramont. The French Government is very anxious to be well acquainted with everything which is said or done in that town.

Some of these may query to themselves, " whose money is it that pays the policemen who aro always' to be seen at the Houses of Parliament and other public buildings, as well as in theatres and many private establishments?" Such economists may rest assured that those special services of the police are all charged to the institutions that receive them, the respective payments being placed to the debit of the metropolitan police fund. The Admiralty is the largest customer for police supervision : that department paid £33,015 for such service, and the War-office—for policemen at Aldershot and other stations—paid £lO,OOO. For their attend ance at the Treasury Offices and Houses of Parliament, £857 was paid ; at the Royal Mint, £l6O ; and at the Record Office, £419. The Geological, Science and Art Museums of the Board of Trade cost for police guardian ship, £2,646; the British Museum, £730; and the two National Galleries—at Trafalgar-square and South Ken sington —cost £1,005 for the protection of their priceless treasures. The inland Revenue Office paid £1,283, mainly for the services of the police at Somerset House ; and a similar F11:11 was paid by the trustees of Greenwich Hos pt. al Public companies, including such as the Crystal Palace and Railway Companies, together with private in dividuals, contribute an aggregate of £5,514 towards the expense of the police; and the Theatres paid £503, ( :(1331hr5'S ,M;i7;tgA PRANCE AND JAPAN, The Moniteur of yesterday contnins the fellow ing The following arrangement has been concluded between the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Ambassadors of Japan.

In cmsequence, while tact treaty remains in force, the Japanese customs shall admit free the following articles, in tended for the preparation and package of tea—tin ' foil, solder, matting, rattans, oils for painting, in digo, gypsum, pans, and baskets. It will simply impose a duty of 5 per cent. ad valorem upon wines and spirits, white sugar, iron and tin, machinery and detached pieces of machinery, linen tissues, clocks, watches, watch chains, glass, medicines; and a duty of 6 per cent. upon plate glass, mirrors, porcelain, jewellery, perfumery, soaps, arms, cut lery, books, engravings, and drawings.

KAWADA SAGAMI NO KAMI. In addition to the above arrangement the Japa nese ambassadors, charged by the Tycoon to offer to the government of the Emperor reparation for the attack of which a French officer (Lieutenant Camus) was victim in Japan, have engaged to pay as an indemrdly a sum of 35,000 dollars, or 192,500 f., to bo handed to the family of that officer. This payment was immediately cff,eted. Tne envoys of the Tycoon at the same time declared that their Government would take all necessary measures fear detecting ar.cl punishing the murderers of Lieut. Camus, The Independance nage says that the Japanese ambassadors were to have visited England, Holland, and Switzerland, but that, owing to political modi fications in their government, they hastily concluded their negotiations with France, in order to return home at once. It is said, however, that another embassy is to be sent to Europe at the commence. ment of next year. Courtesy of the Orleans Family. A statement appeared some days back in the London TVeekly Register (a Roman Catholic paper) to the effect that Bishop Grant, who was the cele brant at the marriage of the Count de Paris, had been treated by the family with great discourtesy. That statement, which was copied into the Jlionde of Paris, and commented upon in the same spirit, produced a certain sensation both among L?gitinaists and Orleaniste. Finding that the article of the London paper was reproduced in a French journal, which did not express 51 ny doubt of its accuracy, General Count Dumas has addressed the following letter to the Monde : Sir,—lf the Abbe Guelle, Chaplain to the Queen Marie Adelaide, were not detained in attendance on the Duke de Montpensier, who has been dangerously ill, he would have given a contradiction to the misstatements in the 1 . 1 7 eekly Register, which you copied into your paper of yesterday, In his absence I feel bound to do so, as I am the person who was charged by her Majesty with the arrange ments for tho marriage of the Count de Paris. Y ou sa y that the Catholic Bishop of Southwark, who performed the marriage ceremony, had reason to complain of the treat ment he received. I deny this in the most distinct manner, and, to corroborate my Quasi, I refer you to Monseigneur Grant himself. He well tell you with what respect and affection he has been treated on every occasi , )n by the Queen, and by every member of the family. As for the facts on which you found that strange assertion, there is not a single one which is not absolutely contrary to the truth. In the hospitality offered to the guests at Claremont there was no distinction to make between Catholic children and Protestant, for the simple r.-ason that the Royal Family had not invited children, to add,' as you express it, " to the splendour of the ceremony," and consequently, some could not have been cared for and others neglected, The Protestant Dean of St. Paul's had not to say grace at the table of the Ro3 al guests, as he was not present, not having been included in the number of English personages invited. If Monseigneur Grant did not take part in the repast which followed the nuptial benediction, the reason is, that he preferred, as he did last year, on the occasion of the marriage of the Duke de Chartres, and in conformity to ecclesiastical usage, not coming to Claremont for a marriage feast. But Monseigneur Grant, as well se all the priests who assisted him, was received by the Abbe Guelle in the name of th- Queen, and a collation was specially prepared for him, at his own convenience, and in the place and at the hour which he himself had fixed upon. And as for what you say, sir, with respect to the anti- Catholic tendencies of the House of Orleans, I again refer you to the venerable Bishop of Southwark. He, lam con vinced, will tell you that there is not a Catholic family in hie diocese who performs all the duties of our religion with more exactness and piety than all the members of the Orleans family. I rely on your impartiality, Sir, for the insertion of the present letter in your next number; and I pray you :o receive the assurance of niy distinguished consideration. General Count C. D 1-31 AS.

Why do grooms take such pride in the windows of their sleeping-rooms ? Every other window that I looked at was fenced in with a mimic five-barred gate, and palings painted white and the five-barred gate green.

ME MONASTERY OF ST. JUST. The natural desire to witness the accomplished Stella Colas in a part other than that of Juliet, and the high expectations raised by the announcement of the production of a new version of M. Casimir Delavigne's play, " Don 'Juan d'Autriche," drew together on Saturday evening ono of the most bril liant and crowded audiences that ever assembled within the walls of the Princess's Theatre. In "Louis XL" Delavigue drew the portrait of a tiger and fox combined, end made the character ridiculous as well as detestable l-y its union of bigotry and wickedness, cruelty and cowardice. In the present drama ho has not dealt so harshly with royalty, though :a the character of Philip the Second of Spain he has drawn a masterly portrait of a soul moved and swayed by the fiercest selfishness and brutality. This, the central character of his pic ture, is drawn and coloured in with all that artistic knowledge of the power of light and shade, and of the most sudden and violent contrasts in which the modern French dramatists aro so potent. Mr. John Oxenford has en!irled his verbion " The Monastery of St. Just,'' and reduced the original five acts to three, chit fly by cutting down the dialogue in those pars where the refoine is not upon the stage; and he has altered the termination of the drama in such a way as to make it end happily, if not powerfully, in the English fashion. The plot of the play, briefly told, is as follows: JIM Juan, a natural son of Charles V., who is ignorant of his parentage, is rather in the way of his brother, Philip IL, now King of Spain; and is ;.n love with and beloved by one Donna Florinda (Stella Co:as). Unfortunately Donna Florinda be lieves herself to be a Jewess, and the Jews are beieg exterminated by the fanatical Spaniards, but this obstacle would not delay her union with Juan, it she Led not inspired a p.ssio❑ in the breast of her Monarch, Philip IL The King consigns Juan to a monastery, while he sends the lady to the inquisi tion, that he may have the credit of saving her from torture and death. Dsm Qeexade, a faithtul friend and tutor of Juan's, finding that the name of the monastery has been left blank in the royal order, fills in the name of the Monastery of St. Just. Here it is that Emperor Charles the Fifth has retired after his active life. Juan meets his father in the monastery, and the old and eccentric king, after causing the monks to spread a report of his death, suddenly rouses himself to help his natural son out of the difficulty. By getting himself elected prior of the monastery he is able to release Juan, . _ in defiance of Philip's royal order; and in the third act, when there seems no way of saving Donna Florinda from the attacks of Philip, although she has denounced herself as a Jewess, he appears in his monastic robes, makes a statement which seems to prove that she is not a Jewess, but only a Jew's adopted child, gives her to Juan, orders the two brothers to become friends, and everybody to live happily ever afterwards. We cannot help thinking the second act greatly confuses the action of the piece, and its entire omis sion w:.uld, in fact, not be a great loss were it not by that means we should lose the opportunity of seeing Aldlle, Stella Colas as the novice Pablo, a mischief loving little fellow, who loves the abbot's oranges, notwithstanding strict orders to the contrary. But the great feature of the play was the embodiment of the part of Donna Flo rinda by the same talented artiste. Her con ception cf the part of the persecuted Jewess was marked by the greatest intensity and pathos. Her great anu grandest effort was the expression of hurror at the declaration of his passion by the remorseless King. Tne feeling of love, scorn, and terror were powerfully represented, and these com bined with the tenderness and grace of the other portions of the part rendered it e. performance quite worthy of her exquisite performance of Juliet. It proved that she possesses a talent not confined to one particular " line," but that in both tragedy and comedy she is «pally charmirg and highly effective. Mr Vining's King Philip was also a very admirable performance, and Mr Nelson, as Dan Juan, certainly acquitted himself to the greatest satisfaction of the audience. Mr H. Marston as the retired monarch, Charles the Fifth, and Mr J. W. as the aged c:anosellor, both acted with great effect ; and Mrs H. Marston as the Gouvernante gave us one of those lifelike portraitures for which she is so remarkable. Tne play, which was a perfect SUCCESS, has been mounted in the brat manner, and such was the enthusiasm of the audier co at the beauty of the interior of the Monastery of St, Just, that the artist had to bow his acknowledgments before silence could be restored. The Ministerial Explanations this Evening. The scene presented in the lobbies of both houses of Par Helmut this morning was ono of great curiosity ; the cause being the great importance attached to the statement of Earl Russell in the House of Lords, and Lord Pamerston in the House of Commons, of the course the Government in tend to pursue in consequence of the nonsuc cess that has attended the deliberation of the Conference on the Dane-German question. in compliance with orders, the police in charge of the building open the doers of the House at six o'clock. As usual, that practice was observed this morn ing, and as early as 7 a.m. persons having secured member's orders for the stranger's gallery this eve n ing, began to assemble in the " Waiting Room," a kind of cellar on the basement, beneath the stairs leading to the gallery. The persons in charge of the place compassionately gave the " early birds" the pleasure of a good coal fire, otherwise their long and weary wait, until a quarter before four o'clock p,m., would have been almost impossible. Those, however, who had attended at that early hour in a short time after secured the service of a person to cccupy the place for them till a few minutes before tour, and in this way many of the commissionaires and other unem ployed persons were engaged at very rernu neretive rates. At eleven o'clock the room was• declared quite full, and after that hour the cande. dates for adn3ission had to take up their seats in the Sculpture C )rridor in the order in which they arrived, as in that manner they would pass into the gallery. Here, again, men and boys were eng.iged to sit until four o'clock, and at two o'clock the accommodation here presented was nearly all oceupitd. Many of those who had not been successful in obtaining engagements as "sitters' exacted exorbitant fees for convey ing refreshments to those who had; and thus laughing and joking was carried on as loud as w considered parliamentary. The prices paid to the patient waiters avereged frem half a sovereign to half a crown. A telegraphic despatch from Corfu announces that the King of the Ilellenes left the lonian Islands yes. terday morning, accompanied by Viscount Arnelot, Prinee Gazarine, and Mr. Rumbold, the French, Russian, and English Charges d'Affaires, who have attended his Majesty during his journey.

EXECUTION IN •FRANCE.—Frangois DuNrcz, known by the name of the Petit Sorcier, who had been condemned to death for murder, underwent the sen tence of the law the day before yesterday at Valenciennes. Since his trial he has been confined in the prison of Douai It was only at six o'clock in the morning that Duwes was informed that hi.. application for pardon had been re jected, and that he must pri , pare to die in a few hours. Ho heard the announcement without much emotion, and then received the last consolations of reli glen - • from the chaplain of the pri son . li e was afterwards taken under an escort of gendarmes to the rail w,iy station, and conveyed to the prison at Valenciennes. Immediately after his aft ival he went through the ceremony of the toilette, and was placed in a cart and conveyed to the place of execution, escorted by a large; body of gendarmery, to preserve order and protect him from the immense crowd which had assembled from all parts of the country round. On reaching the scaffold he ascended the steps with firm nests, and delivered himitlf into the hands of the execu tioners. The next moment all was eve:.

But no appointment will be made until the arrangement of the scale of pay and allowances to be given to Gen. Brown's successor is determined.—Anny and Navy Gazette. RUBINI'S FASCINATION.—The opinion of Rubini was always to respect. Never, probably, was there another singer who so aholutely commanded the admiration of his brother artists. I remember well that in the " good old times," when he was executing one of his fascinating arias, Lablache and others of " the corps" would linger at the wings, as though unuidin,g to lose one of his enchanting notes. Considering how unusual it is for one sint4er to take much interest in the performance of another, this tact is significant of Rueini's power of enhancing the ear of hjas listeners.— umley's Reminiscences of the Opera. THE CAMP OF CIIALONS.—This year the force Waned under the command of Marshal de Mac. Mahon includes three divisions of in.antry and one of cavalry; the heads of divisions are Generals d'Autemarre d'Erville, Deurbaki, and Dumont; and of brigades, Gene rals de Is ()harrier°, Guigut.rd, Moncaudon, Baron Sus- Saurin, Veron de Beliecourt, Ameil, and Count Duhesme. General Jarras is chief of the stiff, and General Leury commands tha artillery, The forces consist of twelve regiments of infantry, three battalions of foot chasseurs, four regiments of cavalry, nine batteries of artillery, four companies of engi etee&s, ono of the waggon train, detachments of infirmary a:sis:ants, gendarmes, and workmen iu the pay of tee ad ministration-113.e whole numbering 16,000 men. The cavalry has all arrived since the 15th June. The two finest regiments, the 6th and B‘ll Hussars, are formed into a bri gade under the orders of General I)uheswe. Marshal de iNLlcMahon arrived at the camp a week ago, but left imme diately for Paris; he returned three days later with the Duchess de Magenta, who has taken up her residence in the pavillion of the imperial quarters, and which is intended for the Empress's suite and foreign princes. The camp is opened, but nothing will be done before the 25th.
